F1 2016 pre-season testing

[LookBackTime]

Anyone got any info on Williams? They've not done all that much running, and I can't find info about their medium tyre runs either...

Got this comment on twitter! Not sure how accurate it is.

Since it looks like he will break 150 laps with 20 minutes or so to go, anyone think Merc will send Hamilton out on low fuel?

[Cenzo]

Mercedes trying to reach the number of laps of 3 gp's ?!

[dans79]

they said they wanted to get 12 days of testing done in 8!

Of course. It was a good day nonetheless

if those are even semi realistic (don't know about fuel loads) Ferrari has a good deal of work to do.

Winter-Test conclusion (Day 1):

VET: 1:30.0, 1:29.6, 1:30.0, 1:29.8, 1:29.9, 1:29.6 and 1:30.0.

HAM: 1:28.9, 1:28.1, 1:28.3, 1:28.5, 1:28.2, 1:28.2, 1:28.1, 1:28.4, 1:28.6, 1:28.5 and 1:28.6

if those are even semi realistic (don't know about fuel loads) Ferrari has a good deal of work to do.

Apart from the fact that we dont know fuel loads, when Vettel was doing his stint Ham was lapping in 1:30s according to SkyF1.

There is no way Ferrari is 1+ second of in race pace. Never was in last year.

But remember, Ferrari are apparently rolling out an almost new car whereas everything we hear is that Mercedes is just an evolution of last years beast. Each is, no doubt, on their own test plan and probably no one is pushing yet.

That's why I said they have work to do, they only have 2/3rds of the track time this year to sort the car out.
